Our Colorbond roofing has started to go on today. Unfortunately it has been a few days delayed as it was meant to have been completed by Monday meaning we would have avoided all of the rain coming this week. But it seems now our second story flooring is going to get a lot of water on it this week as the roofing is only about 1/4 complete. The guys have had to down tools as it is way too windy out there today to continue. It is not easy to see from the pictures as our roof is a 17° pitch rather 22°

On a brighter note, our independent inspection report on the frame came back with only one tiny defect – a bulkhead between hallway and living room/kitchen was out of square. An easy fix. 😀 We have been extremely happy with the quality of the build so far – just a little frustrated that our plywood flooring is getting wet in this weather.

Windows and doors have been delivered and unfortunately they are also out in the elements so we are hoping they will be installed very quickly after roofing has been completed.

This week's update: Ground floor has weather wrap completed, the last of the colorbond now finished on garage and rumpus room, electrical and plumbing rough in completed, window goop has been painted on and bricklayers will start tomorrow. More pics to come over the next few days.... Hopefully weather wrap to 2nd storey will be done soon to better protect it from the elements. Our SS is keen to get plaster done!

House goods great. Good to see how fast things are moving along. I don't think it's the same here in the west as I hear tradies are not as reliable.

That’s a shame... so frustrating when it slows down. Our SS is doing a reverse build to some extent as the brickies have taken a while to become available - so it has kept everything ticking along nicely.

Some pics from today – Weather wrap on 2nd storey, insulation is in and Gyprock craned in this morning through balcony door, ready to be installed tomorrow. A good start on the bricks today. I’m just a little worried about the mortar colour. I know it’s still wet but it looks very dark for off-white! - Edit: Brickies confirmed this morining that it is indeed off-white mortar! Phew!

yes, we will definitely check them - we were thinking more so after they have been washed, but I think you raise a good point. Didn't think about them being chipped while laid. They are there until next Wednesday, so we will have a close look on the weekend. Thanks drew01

Plaster sheets are up throughout entire house - all done over the weekend. Now it is looking like a house.... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ShareLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ShareLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ShareLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share
